Apple Cinnamon Granola

For me, cold cereal just doesn’t cut it. Who has ever had a bowl of cereal that kept them full until lunchtime? Um, no one! I am usually starving an hour later! That is why I love homemade granola. Homemade granola keeps me full until lunchtime. Apple and cinnamon go so perfectly well together too. This Apple Cinnamon Granola is one of my favorite recipes. Homemade Apple Cinnamon Granola is great as a snack, over yogurt or as a cereal.

This homemade granola is a great way to start the day and it’s also gluten free. A yummy breakfast.

Here is a short video of my daughter and me showing you how easy it is to make this recipe!

I am going to make this today, it sounds so good!! Also I wanted to share that my other favorite way to eat granola is on home made pancakes! I just sprinkle it on before I flip them. I can’t wait to make this and try it!!

We have become addicted to your granola, granola bars, and other recipes! Going to make this one today! Had a total “win” yesterday when my kids BEGGED me for one of your peanut butter granola bars for dessert instead of whining once again that Mommy doesn’t buy the processed stuff anymore….yay!!! So THANK YOU!!

I made this yesterday. I couldn’t believe how easy it was — I have never made granola before. Mine came out slightly more chewy than the granola I buy at the store. I cooked it as long as the recipe calls for, but do you think I just need to cook it a bit longer? It was starting to brown on the edges so I thought it was done… Thanks so much for all the great recipes.

OMG – I just made this for the first time but it will definitely not be the last. I have tried so many of your recipes and don’t know why I haven’t done the granola before now. It took a little longer to crisp up but I continued baking it in 2 minutes increments. It is crisp and yummy now. I added some raisins when it was done and some fresh berries as you suggested. I am just eating it dry and loving every bite. Can’t wait to try some of the other flavors. Thank you!

I want to make one of your granola recipes for someone who can’t eat any sugar, maple syrup, or honey. She can eat applesauce though and the sugars in fruit. Do you think it would work to substitute a little more applesauce for the other sweeteners? Or just leave them out altogether? Is there one granola recipe you think this might work best with? Thank you for posting such delicious recipes. I love your blog =)

Thank you Tasha! I think adding extra applesauce could make this a little more wet. You can try adding extra applesauce and then turning down the heat to cook longer? That may work. I also have this recipe where you can sub more peanut butter in place of the sweetener. http://mywholefoodlife.com/2012/11/02/peanut-butter-cup-granola/
